About AUSA

The Anthropology Undergraduate Student Association (AUSA) is committed to enriching the education of all Undergraduate Anthropology majors in the four sub-disciplines of anthropology; cultural/social, physical/biological, archaeology and linguistic anthropology. AUSA accomplishes this by holding a number of events throughout the year that reflect the various of the majors in the department. AUSA also provides assistance for those majors who want to continue with anthropology in Graduate School. AUSA maintains a database of Anthropology Graduate Schools throughout the country and regularly posts information about these different programs on the bulletin board in the Anthropology main office (25 Waverly Place, first floor). Most importantly, Anthropology majors are kept informed of anthropological events both inside and outside the university by means of a listserv. The listserv is the primary means by which anthropology majors communicate with each other. AUSA is open to all students regardless of whether one is more interested in biological, archeological, linguistic, or cultural anthropology.
